Hydropower Plant Cooling Fluids

The effective removal of heat is essential for hydro power plants to run at optimum capacity.

Hydro generators, bearings, transformers, speed governors and turbine shafts all require efficient, safe and reliable heat transfer in order to achieve performance objectives and costly down-time.

Engineered to provide superior thermal transfer and system protection, Hydratech’s fully inhibited cooling fluids are industry proven to help maximise system efficiency, reduce maintenance and avoid costly down-time.

High-Performance Coolants for Hydropower Operations

The Coolflow™ range of heat transfer fluids with antifreeze function are formulated to optimise hydropower cooling system efficiency and reduce maintenance. Launched in 2010, non-toxic Coolflow DTX™ represents a major step forward in heat transfer and pumping efficiency, providing >10% reduction in operating costs when compared with Propylene Glycol based fluids.

Being chemical-engineers, all Hydratech coolants for hydropower are formulated to maximise CoP via a comprehensive understanding of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. Synergistic corrosion, scale and biological inhibitors ensure long-life protection of system components.

For hydropower plant cooling applications, Hydratech recommend the products listed below.
